I’m hoping to feed raw from Viva Raw when I am lucky enough to bring home a Sphynx, but my big question isn’t diet related, but cleanliness related! How do you sanitize your cats’ bowls after meals? I’m pescetarian and don’t have much experience handling raw meat - my dogs have had supplemental RMBS, but only ever had them outside, so spreading bacteria wasn’t really an issue.

I do the same, dishwasher top rack. I also keep on hand *diluted per instructions, duravet chlorhexidine solution (I get online chewy etc. ) my vets offices uses it as a disinfectant.
I spray water bowls every couple of days with the diluted solution I keep in a spray bottle, let sit for about 15 minutes and then rinse,dry refill with fresh water since I dont run dishwasher daily.

I use it for food dishes, formica countertops , etc and litterboxes too.
